Stained glass window with a scene from the Bible. The artwork, titled "Esther before Ahasuerus" by Dirk Vellert, depicts a royal scene. The king sits on a throne at the center, elevated on a platform with steps. The throne room has stone tile flooring, ornate gold decorations, and arched doorways. Queen Esther, wearing a blue dress, kneels on the steps before the king. The king wears a green robe and a red and gold hat. Several attendants and noblemen are present around the room, some standing and others seated, dressed in renaissance clothing. A cityscape with a bridge is visible through an archway on the right side. The stained glass technique uses various colors and textures of glass to create detailed images. The colors include shades of gold, blue, red, green, and brown. The overall composition shows a moment of interaction between Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus.
